AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>> FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO DAYS, FIRE HAS SHUT DOWN A MAJOR FREEWAY IN THE NORTH COUNTY.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I'M JOHN CARROLL, IN FOR MY A 333.

THE MARINES SAY THE HENDERSON FIRE BROKE OUT AROUND 2:00 YESTERDAY AFTERNOON NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF VASS ALONE AND LOST POOL GUS RHODES.

THE AREA IS HOME TO THE HEADQUARTERS AND BARRACKS OF THE 11th MARINE REGIMENT.

AS OF THIS AFTERNOON, THE FIRE HAS BURNED 2080 ACRES, AND CREWS HAVE YET TO ESTABLISH ANY CONTAINMENT.

ACCORDING TO CHP, BOTH LANES ON INTERSTATE 5 NEAR CAMP PENDLETON HAVE REOPENED.

STRONG WINDS HELPED SPREAD THAT FIRE.

KPBS ENVIRONMENT REPORTER TAMMY MURRAY GOT HIS LIVE IN THE NEWSROOM WITH THE LATEST.

TAMMY, WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

>> CAL FIRE OFFICIAL TOLD ME THE HENDERSON FILE BURNING ON CAMP PENDLETON IS STILL 0% CONTAINED.

IT HAS ALREADY CHARRED 2080 ACRES, AS YOU MENTIONED, AND TO MAKE CONDITIONS HARDER ON FIREFIGHTERS, A NEW BLAZE ERUPTED LATE THIS MORNING.

THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL SAYS THE VEHICLE HALT BY A SEMI TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE AND SPREAD TO NEARBY BRUSH.

THAT FIRE GREW TO 20 ACRE SHORTLY BEFORE 1:30 THIS AFTERNOON, AND THAT HAS PROMPTED A FULL CLOSURE, THAT HAD PROMPTED, SHIRLEY, A CLOSURE OF THE 5 FEE WAIVED -- IT LOOKS LIKE THOSE LANES HAVE NOW OPENED.

NOW COME UP THIS IS ALL HAPPENING UNDER A HIGH WIND WARNING.

CAL FIRE CAPTAIN JOSH SAYS THESE ARE THE FIRST SANTA ANA WINDS OF THE SEASON, SO FIRES ARE RAPIDLY SPREADING.

>> WE HAVE SEEN GUSTS UP TO 70 MILES PER HOUR, SO EVEN THOUGH WE DID EXPERIENCE A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN THIS PAST WEEKEND, UNFORTUNATELY, WE'VE NOW EXPERIENCED OVER 24 HOURS OF DRY EAST WIND, SO OUR FUELS ARE STILL VERY DRY AND VERY RECEPTIVE TO ANY FIRE THAT MAY POSSIBLY START.

>> CORMODE SAYS IT'S ALL HANDS ON DECK ACROSS CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAYS WIND GUSTS UP TO 82 MILES PER HOUR HAVE BEEN RECORDED IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY MOUNTAINS.

FOR THE NEWSROOM, THIS IS TAMMY.

>>> ALL RIGHT, TAMMY, THANK YOU.

FIREFIGHTERS ARE BATTLING ANOTHER WILDFIRE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, THIS ONE NEAR MALIBU.

THE BRYSON FIRE SPARKED THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND QUICKLY GREW TO MORE THAN 100 ACRES.

IT'S NOW AROUND 200 ACRES NOW, WHILE FAIRLY SMALL, THAT BLAZES BURNING NEAR SOME OF THE MOST AFFLUENT AREAS OF METRO LOS ANGELES.

CREWS WORKING OVERNIGHT WERE ABLE TO MAKE PROGRESS, BUT THEY'RE ASKING EVACUATED RESIDENTS NOT TO RETURN YET.

>> GREAT PROGRESS WAS MADE OVERNIGHT BY FIREFIGHTERS, AND THE CURRENT CONTAINMENT IS AT 17%.

THERE HAS BEEN NO REPORTED STRUCTURE LOSS OR DAMAGE, AND ONLY MINOR INJURIES TO OUR FIREFIGHTING PERSONNEL.

I URGE RESIDENTS TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR HIGH RISK WEATHER CONDITIONS, IMPLEMENT HOME HARDENING, ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE DEFENSIBLE SPACE AROUND THEIR HOMES.

>> LOS ANGELES COUNTY ISSUED EVACUATION ORDERS THAT COVER A LARGE AREA IN THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS.

THEY CONSIDER MORE THAN 100 STRUCTURES IN THE AREA TO BE THREATENED.

ONE FIREFIGHTER SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES AND WAS HOSPITALIZED.

>>> COMING UP TONIGHT, A WARM NIGHT AS THE WIND STILL WHIPS.

70 DEGREES, MAINLY CLEAR.

BIG CHANGES COMING UP.

WE'LL START TO COOL DOWN, AND THEN HOW ABOUT SOME WIDESPREAD RAIN NEXT WEEK?

A BIG PATTERN CHANGE.

THE DETAILS ARE COMING UP.

>>> MORE THAN A MONTH AFTER HIS I.C.E.

ARREST, SAN DIEGO CITY COLLEGE STUDENT RENATO CASSIUS HAS BEEN ORDERED TO BE RELEASED FROM IMMIGRATION CUSTODY.

KPBS REPORTER JACOB EYRE SAYS TODAY , A JUDGE GRADUAL THE PETITION DURING A HEARING IN FEDERAL COURT.

>> AT SAN DIEGO'S FEDERAL COURTHOUSE DOWNTOWN, ATTORNEY ST.

JOHN, HIS PARALEGAL, AND HAITIAN BRIDGE ALLIANCE COFOUNDER ENTERED A SPARSELY FILLED 12th FLOOR COURTROOM.

THAT'S WHERE FEDERAL JUDGE CYNTHIA ORDERED THE RELEASE OF 20-YEAR-OLD RENATHO CASSEUS.

>> TODAY, I'M VERY EXCITED, I'M VERY HAPPY TO, TO GET THIS GOOD NEWS FROM THE JUDDS, WHO AGREES WITH US THAT RENATHO SHOULD BE RELEASED IMMEDIATELY.

THAT MEANS RENATHO SHOULD BE HOME TONIGHT WITH HIS FAMILY.

>> 'S ARREST OVER A MONTH AGO, ON SEPTEMBER 8th, AS HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO CLASSES AT SAN DIEGO CITY COLLEGE.

SINCE THEN, HE HAS BEEN HELD AT THE OTAY MESA DETENTION CENTER.

HIS ARREST SPARKED AN OUTCRY FROM FELLOW STUDENTS AND THE LARGER HAITIAN COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS OTHER CONCERNED COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN SAN DIEGO.

THIS CASE IS JUST ONE OF MANY, FOLLOWING THE END OF TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS FOR HAITIANS IN LATE JULY.

>> I HOPE THE COMMUNITY SEES THE VICTORY IN THIS CASE AS A STEP TOWARDS DUE PROCESS AND JUSTICE.

>> CASSEUS WAS PREVIOUSLY DENIED BOND BEFORE AN IMMIGRATION JUDGE.

THIS WAS A FEDERAL HABEAS CORPUS HERE.

HIS ATTORNEY EXPLAINS WHAT IT MEANS.

>> SIMPLY ASK WHETHER THE, THE DETENTION IS, IS, IS LEGAL, AND, AND TWO, WHETHER THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS THE RIGHT TO HOLD SOMEONE LIKE RENATHO IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.

>> SAINT-JEANS SAYS CASSEUS'S APPLICATION FOR ASYLUM IS STILL PENDING, AND THE RULING SHOULD ALLOW THAT PROCESS TO PROCEED.

JACOB EYRE, KPBS NEWS .

>>> THE SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT SAYS IT IS NOW ALERTING STUDENTS BY TEXT WHEN FEDERAL IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS COME ONTO CAMPUS, AND THEY'VE RAISED FUNDS TO HELP PAY CASSEUS'S LEGAL BILLS.

THE DISTRICT IS ALSO ADVOCATING WITH CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES FOR LEGISLATION THAT WOULD PREVENT IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY AT EDUCATION, MEDICAL, AND RELIGIOUS FACILITIES.

>>> SAN DIEGO LAWMAKERS ARE VOICING OPPOSITION TO A MASSIVE DATA CENTER THAT MAY GET BUILT ON LAND OWNED BY THE NAVY.

KPBS METRO REPORTER ANDREW BOWEN SAYS NEWS OF THE CONCEPT BROKE THIS WEEK.

>> FOR YEARS, THE NAVY HAS BEEN TALKING WITH MANCHESTER FINANCIAL GROUP ABOUT REDEVELOPING ITS CAMPUS IN THE MIDWAY DISTRICT.

THE SITE TAKES UP 70 ACRES BETWEEN PACIFIC HIGHWAY AND I- 5.

ON THURSDAY, VOICE OF SAN DIEGO REPORTED THE DEVELOPERS WERE CONSIDERING A 400 MEGAWATT DATA CENTER AS PART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT PLANS.

CONGRESSMAN SCOTT PETERS DISTRICT INCLUDES THE NAVY'S CYBERSECURITY COMMAND, KNOWN AS NAVWAR.

HE SAID THE DATA CENTER WOULD BE A WASTE OF PRIME REAL ESTATE IN THE CITY'S URBAN CORE.

>> IT SHOULD BE A NEW COMMUNITY, A NEW MINI DOWNTOWN, IF YOU WILL, RIGHT NEXT TO THE HIGHWAY, WITH ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION WHERE WE CAN HAVE HOUSING.

MOSTLY HOUSING.

AMENITIES FOR HOUSING, NEIGHBORHOOD, A DATA CENTER ISN'T NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT REALLY BELONGS HERE.

IT BELONGS IN A MORE REMOTE INDUSTRIAL PLACE THAT I HOPE THIS WILL BECOME.

>> THE NAVY WANTS TO LEASE ITS CAMPUS TO A DEVELOPER.

IN EXCHANGE, THAT DEVELOPER WOULD BUILD NEW OFFICES FOR NAVWAR ON ANOTHER SITE.

MANCHESTER FINANCIAL GROUP TOLD KPBS, QUOTE, THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM HAD EARLY INFORMATIONAL CONVERSATIONS WITH ENERGY PROVIDERS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MIGHT BE FEASIBLE, BUT THERE ARE NO NEGOTIATIONS UNDERWAY AND NO AGREEMENTS IN PLACE.

REGARDLESS OF THE FINAL DESIGN, IT WILL BE A MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT, WITH HOMES, AS WELL AS RETAIL, COMMERCIAL, AND INDUSTRIAL USES.

THE NAVY EXPECTS TO RELEASE AN UPDATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT ON ITS REDEVELOPMENT OPTIONS SOMETIME NEXT YEAR.

ANDREW BOWEN, KPBS NEWS .

>>> THE ENDS EDINA CITY COUNCIL HAS APPROVED AN AGREEMENT TO SEND SOME UNHOUSED PEOPLE TO A HOMELESS SHELTER IN NATIONAL CITY.

KPBS REPORTER COREY TSUZUKI SAYS IT'S BECOME THE LATEST POINT OF TENSION IN THE ONGOING DEBATE OVER REGIONAL HOMELESSNESS RESPONSIBILITY.

>> THE AGREEMENT IS WITH THE SAN DIEGO RESCUE MISSION, A CHRISTIAN FAITH-BASED HOMELESSNESS SERVICES ORGANIZATION.

ENCINITAS WILL SPEND UP TO $380,000 PER YEAR TO RESERVE A DOZEN BEDS FOR ENCINITAS RESIDENTS AT THE MOUTH -- LIGHTHOUSE SHELTER.

NATIONAL CITY COUNCILMEMBER JOSE RODRIGUEZ PUSHED BACK AGAINST THE AGREEMENT.

AT WEDNESDAY'S MEETING, HE POINTED OUT THAT ENCINITAS IS A MUCH WEALTHIER CITY.

>> ENCINITAS IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOMES IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, AT ABOUT $151,000.

MEANWHILE, NATIONAL CITY HAS THE LOWEST, AT AROUND 67,000.

PLEASE DO YOUR FAIR SHARE BEFORE ASKING NATIONAL CITY TO DO MORE OF OURS.

>> ENCINITAS COUNCILMEMBERS DEFENDED THE AGREEMENT.

THEY SAID IT WAS A TEMPORARY FIX WHILE THE RESCUE MISSION LOOKS FOR NEW SHELTER SPACE IN NORTH COUNTY.

>> WEAVE HOUSE MORE PEOPLE THAN THEY DID PREVIOUSLY, AND WE'VE SERVICED MORE PEOPLE THAN WE DO PREVIOUSLY THROUGH THIS PROGRAM.

WE'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL.

>> TRANSACTING COUNCILMEMBER AGREED THERE SHOULD BE MORE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE TWO CITIES.

>> WE DO NEED TO HEAR WHAT YOUR CONCERNS ARE, AND WE DO NEED TO HEAR THAT DIALOGUE AS WE MOVE FORWARD THROUGH THIS ENGAGEMENT.

>> ENCINITAS MAYOR BRUCE EHLERS ORDERED RODRIGUEZ BE REMOVED FROM THE ROOM AFTER HE TRIED TO SPEAK OUT OF TURN.

>> I OFFERED THE DIALOGUE.

>> COREY TSUZUKI, KPBS NEWS.

>>> I'M JEFF BENNETT.

TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, THE LATEST ON THE OREGON SCHOOL SHOOTING THAT CLAIMED THE LIVES OF A TEACHER AND THREE SCHOOLCHILDREN.

THAT'S AT 7:00 AFTER EVENING EDITION KPBS.

>>> MORE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES APPEAR WILLING TO BREAK WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP ON SOME PARTS OF HIS FOREIGN POLICY.

THIS WEEK, WE SAW SEVERAL REPUBLICANS CREATE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEMSELVES AND THE PRESIDENT ON THE WAR WITH IRAN AND A NEW DIESEL DEAL WITH RUSSIA.

MATTIE GANNON IS AT THE WHITE HOUSE WITH THE LATEST.

>> Reporter: WITH THE ECONOMY AT THE TOP OF VOTER'S MINES HEADING INTO THE NOVEMBER LATE- TERM ELECTIONS, THE ENERGY SHOCKS FROM THE WAR WITH IRAN AND THE CONFLICT BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE HAVE SENT OIL PRICES SOARING AND BOOSTED INFLATION OVERALL.

POLITICAL ANALYST LARRY SABADO SAYS THAT'S MAKING MAJOR HEADWINDS FOR REPUBLICANS.

>> IT ALL FITS TOGETHER, AND IT'S ALL BAD FOR REPUBLICANS >> IS ALSO PUSHING SEVERAL GOP CANDIDATES IN SOME OF THIS YEAR'S MOST COMPETITIVE SENATE RACES TO STAKEOUT SEPARATION FROM PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP ON KEY FOREIGN POLICY ISSUES.

>> CONGRESS DEFINITELY SHOULD'VE BEEN CONSULTED.

>> IN MAINE, REPUBLICAN SENATOR SUSAN COLLINS TWICE THIS WEEK POINTED TO HER VOTES IN FAVOR OF A MORE POWERS RESOLUTION IN CONGRESS TO END THE WAR WITH IRAN.

>> I VOTED WITH THE DEMOCRATS TO BRING THE WAR TO AN END, BUT THERE WERE NOT SUFFICIENT VOTES FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.

IN ADDITION, I AGREE THAT THE PRESIDENT DID NOT HAVE A GOOD PLAN.

>> IN IOWA AND ALASKA, REPUBLICAN SENATE CANDIDATES PUSHED BACK ON TRUMP'S PLAN TO ALLOW RUSSIA TO SUPPLY GLOBAL MARKETS WITH DIESEL AS THE AVERAGE COST PER GALLON HAS HIT RECORD HIGHS IN THE U.S.

>> I DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA AT ALL.

>> DEMOCRATS SEIZING ON THE LATEST CONSUMER PRICE INDEX REPORT THIS WEEK, SHOWING INFLATION RISING FASTER THAN EXPECTED LAST MONTH, UP 3.7% YEAR-OVER-YEAR, WITH GAS PRICES RISING AT 9.1% IN SEPTEMBER.

>> I THINK THAT GEORGIANS DESERVE TO KNOW CONGRESSMAN HOW THIS WAR HAS HELPED THEM.

>> IN WASHINGTON, I'M MATTIE GANNON.

>>> THE TEAM PLANNING MIDWAY RISING AND CITY STAFF HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATING FOR FOUR YEARS NOW.

THEY GOT SPECIAL LEGISLATION PASSED AND SIGNED, AND NOW THE CITY COUNCIL IS POISED TO MAKE IT OFFICIAL.

BUT ONE LAST APPROVAL IS MONTHS, OR EVEN YEARS, AWAY.

FOR THIS WEEK'S WHY IT MATTERS SEGMENT, VOICE OF SAN DIEGO SCOTT LEWIS EXPLAINS HOW IT COULD DERAIL THE WHOLE THING.

>> THE MIDWAY RISING DEAL IS A BIG TRADE.

THE CITY WILL NOT CHARGE MUCH RENT ON THE NEARLY 50 ACRES OF LAND IT'S LETTING THE DEVELOPERS BUILD ON, AND WHAT RENT IT DOES CHARGE WILL BE COLLECTED FOR YEARS, AND IN EXCHANGE, THE DEVELOPERS WILL BUILD A NEW ARENA.

4250 NEW HOUSING UNITS, ALMOST HALF OF WHICH WILL BE SET ASIDE FOR PEOPLE WITH LOWER INCOMES.

AND THEN A BUNCH OF INFRASTRUCTURE.

IN THIS CASE, THEY HAVE TO PREPARE ALL THAT LAND FOR CONSTRUCTION.

THEY ARE BUILDING 14 PARKS AND IMPROVING THE STREET FROM THE NEW ARENA WHERE DIXIELAND LUMBER IS NOW TO THE TRANSIT STATION AT OLD TOWN SO THAT PEOPLE MAY ACTUALLY WANT TO WALK ALONG IT.

THAT INFRASTRUCTURE WILL COST AN ESTIMATED $400 MILLION THAT THE MIDWAY RISING PEOPLE HAVE TO INVEST.

BUT THEY WANT TO GET ABOUT $100 MILLION OF THAT BACK.

THEY WANT AN ENHANCED INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING DISTRICT, OR EIF D. WHAT IS THAT?

WELL, YOU MAY REMEMBER REDEVELOPMENT FROM DECADES AGO.

IT'S SIMILAR.

BASICALLY, THE CITY AND THE COUNTY WOULD BOTH AGREE TO CAP THE PROPERTY TAXES THEY COLLECT IN THE AREA AT CURRENT LEVELS, AND AS NEW HOMES AND THE ARENA AND RETAIL GET BUILT, THEY WILL GET MORE PROPERTY TAXES.

BUT THE INCREASE IN PROPERTY TAX COLLECTIONS WILL NOT GO TO THE CITY OR COUNTY.

INSTEAD, THEY WILL GO TO THE DEVELOPER.

BUT THE COUNTY HAS NOT YET SIGNED OFF ON THAT.

GETTING THAT APPROVAL COULD TAKE ANOTHER YEAR, AND THE DEAL IS ESSENTIALLY ON HOLD UNTIL THE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVE IT.

IF THEY DON'T, THE MIDWAY RISING TEAM CAN WALK AWAY FROM THE DEAL WITHOUT BUILDING ANYTHING.

I'M SCOTT LEWIS, FOR VOICE OF SAN DIEGO, AND THAT'S WHY IT MATTERS.

>> VOICE OF SAN DIEGO IS ONE OF OUR PARTNERS FOR THE PUBLIC MATTERS INITIATIVE.

YOU CAN LEARN MORE AT KPBS.ORG/ PUBLIC MATTERS.

>>> SAN DIEGO UNIFIED MATH SCORES ARE IMPROVING, ENGLISH SCORES ARE DOWN.

THAT'S ACCORDING TO NEW STATEWIDE TESTING DATA OUT TODAY.

THE DISTRICT SAYS IT HAS SEVERAL EFFORTS UNDERWAY TO IMPROVE LITERACY.

ONE OF THEM IS CALLED JUST RIGHT.

IT ENCOURAGES FAMILIES TO HAVE THEIR CHILDREN WRITE FOR 10 MINUTES A DAY.

SUPERINTENDENT FABIOLA BEGALA ANNOUNCED THE INITIATIVE TO FAMILIES EARLIER THIS MONTH.

>> THE IDEA IS SIMPLE.

GIVE STUDENTS 10 MINUTES TO WRITE EVERY DAY.

NO PRESSURE, NO PERFECT SENTENCES REQUIRED.

JUST 10 MINUTES TO THINK, CREATE, REFLECT, AND BUILD ON THEIR WRITING SKILLS.

STUDENTS CAN WRITE ABOUT ANYTHING THAT INTEREST THEM, AND THEY CAN WRITE IN ANY LANGUAGE.

>> THE DISTRICT ALSO PLANS TO LAUNCH A NEW LITERACY CURRICULUM NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.

IN A STATEMENT, BAGULA SAYS, OUR WORK IS NOT DONE UNTIL ALL OF OUR STUDENTS ARE ACHIEVING IN ALL AREAS.

>>> A NEW BOOK OF PHOTOGRAPHY TELLS THE STORIES OF PEOPLE WHO WERE WRONGFULLY CONVICTED, AND THE ROLE OF FALSE CONFESSIONS CAN PLAY IN THOSE CASES.

KPBS ARTS REPORTER JULIA DIXON EVANS SPOKE WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHER, THE COFOUNDER OF THE CALIFORNIA INNOCENCE PROJECT, AND A PERSON WHO'S BEEN EXONERATED ABOUT HOW ART CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

>> RESEARCH SHOWS THAT INNOCENT PEOPLE CAN MAKE FALSE CONFESSIONS WHEN THEY REACH A BREAKING POINT DURING INTERROGATIONS.

AND MOST PEOPLE IN THE U.S.

THINK IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO THEM.

>> YOU KNOW THE PSYCHOLOGY OF FALSE CONFESSIONS.

IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEONE WOULD'VE DONE THAT.

>> ROBIN DAHLBERG IS A FORMER LAWYER WHO RECENTLY PUBLISHED A BOOK OF PHOTOGRAPHY ABOUT WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS AND INTERROGATION TECHNIQUES.

ABOUT 30% OF PEOPLE EXONERATED THROUGH DNA EVIDENCE MADE A FALSE CONFESSION.

EDDIE LOWERY WAS ONE OF THEM.

>> BECAUSE I, I WAS SO EMOTIONALLY DRAINED FROM GOING THROUGH ALL THIS INTERROGATION AFTER TWO DAYS THAT I JUST WANTED OUT OF THAT, I JUST WANTED OUT OF THE INTERROGATION ROOM.

SO I WAS WILLING TO TELL THEM ANYTHING THEY WANTED TO HEAR.

>> IN 1982, LOWERY WAS CONVICTED OF A SEXUAL ASSAULT HE DIDN'T COMMIT.

HE WAS EXONERATED 21 YEARS LATER.

DURING HIS INTERROGATION, OFFICERS REPEATEDLY LIED TO HIM, AND BROUGHT UP TRAUMATIC FAMILY HISTORY.

IN DAHLBERG'S BOOK, A STILL FROM LIBRARIES INTERROGATION VIDEO SHOWS HIM SLUMPED OVER THE TABLE.

>> I, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

JUST PUT MY HEAD DOWN AND JUST KIND OF GAVE UP.

>> JUSTIN BRACTS COFOUNDED THE CALIFORNIA INNOCENCE PROJECT IN 1999, WHICH INVESTIGATES AND WORKS TO EXONERATE PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN WRONGFULLY CONVICTED.

>> IN A LOT OF CASES, PEOPLE CONFESS BECAUSE THEY'RE ANGRY, AND THEY JUST WANT TO GET OUT OF THE ROOM, AND THEY STOP CARING ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE SAYING, SO THEY'RE JUST SORT OF, OKAY, I DID IT, WHATEVER, I DID IT.

AND THEY'RE THINKING IT'S ALL GOING TO BE CLEARED UP LATER ON, AND THAT'S A PROBLEM WITH INNOCENCE CASES, HIS INNOCENT PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE THEY'RE GOING TO BE CONVICTED.

>> DAHLBERG'S BOOK IS STRIKING AND SPARSE, WITH HANDWRITTEN MEMORIES, TRANSCRIPTS, AND BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY OF RE-STAGED INTERROGATIONS.

SHE WANTED TO BRING READERS INTO THE WRONGFUL CONVICTION EXPERIENCED THROUGH THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE EXONERATES THEMSELVES.

>> I THINK PART OF THE BOOK IS DESIGNED TO SHOW THAT PEOPLE LIKE EDDIE, YOU KNOW, JUST HAPPENED TO BE ON THE WRONG STREET ON THE WRONG DAY AT THE WRONG TIME, AND GETS PICKED UP BY THE COPS.

>> I JUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD, YOU KNOW?

YOU KNOW, THIS HAS TAUGHT ME A LOT ABOUT SURVIVAL AND NOT GIVING UP.

>> JULIA DIXON EVANS, KPBS NEWS.

>>> ROBIN DAHLBERG WILL DISCUSS THE BOOK WITH EDDIE LOWERY AND JUSTIN BROOKS AT WARWICK'S BOOKS IN LA JOLLA.

THAT'S COMING UP ON MONDAY.

>>> DOOLEY I IS ONE OF THE HOSTS OF OUR PODCAST, THE FINEST.

IT CAPTURES THE PEOPLE, ART, AND MOVEMENTS REDEFINING OUR REGION'S CULTURAL IDENTITY.

YOU CAN LISTEN AT KPBS.ORG/THE FINEST , OR SUBSCRIBE WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS.

>>> GOSH, IT'S BEEN WARM.

IT HAS BEEN VERY WINDY.

LUCKILY, THE SANTA ANA WINDS WILL LEASE BY SUNDAY, SO DEALING WITH THE WORST OF IT TODAY AND STILL LINGERING AT TIMES SATURDAY, BUT SOME IMPROVEMENTS BY SUNDAY, WHICH ALSO MEANS THE TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO IMPROVE, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST, WHERE WE'VE BEEN SEEING THE PEAK OF THE HEAT.

THOSE TEMPERATURES WILL TREND LOWER.

HOW ABOUT THIS?

COOLING CONTINUES BECAUSE WE HAVE WIDESPREAD RAIN ON THE WAY FOR NEXT WEEK.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S TALK ABOUT TONIGHT HERE AS THE WIND STILL WAITING, DOWN TO 70 IN SAN DIEGO, 62 OCEANSIDE, 71 CHULA VISTA.

BORREGO SPRINGS, 64, AND AT LAGUNA, DOWN TO 54.

WINDS HAVE BEEN CONTINUING TO BE FORECASTED 40 TO 60, LARGE AREA, BUT EVEN AREAS THAT COMPETE, 60 TO 80 MILES PER HOUR THROUGH THE REST OF TONIGHT.

SO CONTINUING TO BE AN ISSUE AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY TOMORROW AT TIMES.

STILL SOME GUSTY WINDS MAKING IT TOWARDS THE UNION VALLEYS, AND STILL PUSHING SOME OF THAT HEAT ALONG THE COAST HERE.

THE TEMPERATURES ARE STARTING TO EASE A BIT AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY TOMORROW, THOUGH THE HEAT ADVISORY CONTINUES UNTIL 8:00 ON SATURDAY.

SO STILL VERY WARM, WELL ABOVE THE HISTORICAL AVERAGE FOR OUR COASTAL REGIONS.

WHAT SET UP ON THE WAY NEXT WEEK AS WE TRACK THIS UPPER LOW.

SO WE GET A SHIFT OF THE WINS HERE.

TROPICAL MOISTURE INCREASES.

OF COURSE, BENEFICIAL FOR DROUGHT RELIEF, BUT IT DOES COME WITH THE FLASH FLOOD RISK ACROSS PARTS OF THE SOUTHWEST.

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.

THE NEXT FIVE DAYS, TEMPERATURES ARE ON THE DECLINE FOR THE COAST.

WE'LL STILL BE WARM THIS WEEKEND, AND PLEASANT AS WE START NEXT WEEK AS CLOUDS BEGIN TO INCREASE AND WE WATCH FOR THAT RAIN CHANCE.

ALL RIGHT, IN THE VALLEYS, STILL STAYING HOT TODAY AND TOMORROW, BUT THEN TEMPERATURES DO EASE UP, AND THEN WE'LL BE MOSTLY CLOUDY.

BIDDERS WILL BE INTO THE 70s BY WEDNESDAY.

HOW ABOUT THE MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS HERE?

AS WE LOOK AHEAD TO A BRIGHT WEEKEND, STAY COOL EARLY NEXT WEEK AND THEN MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH SHOWERS BY WEDNESDAY, AND ACROSS THE DESERT LOCATIONS, WE'LL ALSO BE TRACKING A COUPLE OF SHOWERS BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

FOR KPBS NEWS, I'M A REALIST POLICE.

>>> YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE WOMAN SWIMMING THE LENGTH OF CALIFORNIA.

-- IS NOW SWIMMING OFF THE COAST OF SAN DIEGO.

KPBS ENVIRONMENT REPORTER TAMMY MURTAUGH SPOKE WITH HER AS SHE PREPARED FOR THE LAST DAYS OF HER SWIM.

>> FROM A BOAT SOMEWHERE OFF NEWPORT BEACH, CATHERINE BRADY TOOK A BREAK FROM SWIMMING.

>> IS THIS OKAY NOW?

>> THAT'S PERFECT, ACTUALLY.

>> THE BOAT'S ABOUT TO TURN OFF.

>> EARLIER ON THIS DAY, HER SWIM HALLIE HAD REACHED WELL OVER 700 MILES SINCE JULY.

>> I FEEL GREAT.

WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FINISH, AND I'M TRYING NOT TO FOCUS SO MUCH ON BEING DONE, BUT RATHER ENJOYING THE LAST FEW DAYS.

>> SHE'S ABOUT TO SET A NEW RECORD, BECOMING THE FIRST PERSON TO SWIM THE ENTIRE CALIFORNIA COAST.

BUT EVEN BEFORE GETTING IN THE WATER, SHE WAS THINKING ABOUT AREAS IN THE OPEN PACIFIC WHERE SHE COULD ENCOUNTER DANGER.

>> THE POLLUTION ISSUE IS SOMETHING I'VE KNOWN ABOUT SINCE DAY ONE.

IT IS IDENTIFIED IN MY SPREADSHEET OF PLANNING AS A RED FLAG ZONE, MEANING SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO BE HYPERAWARE OF.

>> FOR EVEN GETTING TO THE BORDER, BREED HAS COME FACE TO FACE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES MOST PEOPLE DON'T GET TO SEE.

>> CALIFORNIA HAS A COASTAL CURRENT THAT TYPICALLY RUNS NORTH TO SOUTH.

THERE IS HISTORICAL DATA ABOUT THAT ON NOAA, AND THIS YEAR, BECAUSE OF THE SUPER EL NINO, THAT CURRENT SWITCH TO DIRECTION.

AND SO THE CURRENT IS QUITE LITERALLY GOING AGAINST US THE ENTIRE WAY IT >> SHE SAYS THE UNPRECEDENTED WEATHER HAS BEEN THE HARDEST PART OF THE SWIM.

THE CALIFORNIA COAST IS RUGGED AND COLD, BUT IT'S ALSO FACING A MARINE HEATWAVE.

>> IT'S VERY NOTICEABLE HOW THE OCEAN TEMPERATURES ARE AFFECTING WILDLIFE.

THE HUMPBACK WHALES, THE LAST TIME WE SAW THEM WAS UP IN PISMO, AND I KNOW THAT THEY TYPICALLY DO COME A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH.

I'VE SEEN MANTA RAYS AND DEVIL RAYS, WHICH USUALLY AREN'T AROUND, LIKE, MALIBU, SANTA MONICA TYPICALLY.

>> SHE'S ALSO COLLECTING PLASTIC, LIKE BALLOONS, ALONG THE WAY.

>> AS I'VE ENTERED L.A.

COUNTY, AND EVEN AS WE'RE SWIMMING FROM ORANGE COUNTY, THERE ARE SO MANY BALLOONS IN THE WATER.

IN ONE DAY, MOTORING OUT, WE PICKED UP ABOUT 10 MYLAR BALLOONS.

AND THAT'S JUST IN MY SWIM ROUTE IN ABOUT AN HOUR.

>> AS SHE COMPLETES THE FINAL LEGS OF HER SWIM, SHE'S ABOUT TO FACE THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS AT THE BORDER SOUTH COUNTY RESIDENTS DEAL WITH EVERY DAY.

MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF SEWAGE SPILL INTO THE WATERS OFTEN.

BEACH IN CORONADO FROM MEXICO.

THE POLLUTION KEEPS BEACHES CLOSED, AND EXPOSURE HAS MADE SOME PEOPLE SICK.

>> IT'S JUST HEARTBREAKING THAT THERE'S A BEACH IN CALIFORNIA THAT'S, THAT PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THAT AREA CAN'T GO TO AND STAY SAFE AND STAY HEALTHY.

AND IT, IT IS, IT'S, IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING TO THINK THAT I GET TO SPEND FOUR MONTHS IN THE OCEAN AND THERE'S PEOPLE WHO LIVE NEAR THE OCEAN AND CAN'T EVEN SPEND FOUR MINUTES IN THE WATER BECAUSE IT'S SO DIRTY.

>> AURORA CZAJKOWSKI KNOWS ALL ABOUT THAT.

SHE GREW UP SURFING IN IMPERIAL BEACH LONG BEFORE THE BEACHES CLOSED.

>> I LEARNED HOW TO SERVE, AND I USED TO SWIM.

THERE USE TO BE AN AREA TO SWIM EVERY YEAR, BUT I DON'T THINK WE CAN DO THAT ANYMORE WITH THE WATER QUALITY ISSUES.

>> CZAJKOWSKI SAYS THE SEWAGE CRISIS INFLUENCED HER ACADEMIC CAREER AT SCRIPPS ENTITIES IN AVOCA NOT FOR FREE.

>> I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE PHYSICAL FACTORS THAT ARE DRIVING WHERE POLLUTION GOES AND WHAT IMPACTS THE COMMUNITY, LIKE, HOW IT IMPACTS THE COMMUNITIES THAT IT REACHES.

>> SHE SAYS SHE HOPES BREED BRINGS NATIONAL ATTENTION TO A DECADE-LONG ISSUE IN HER HOMETOWN.

>> I HOPE THAT HER JOURNEY WILL KIND OF HIGHLIGHT THAT THE SOUTH BAY SAN DIEGO COMMUNITIES DO HAVE A LOT TO GIVE TO OUR COMMUNITIES, AND IT'S NOT JUST A, A DIRTY BEACH COMMUNITY.

>> BUT SHE ALSO WONDERS ABOUT BREED'S STRATEGY WHEN SHE REACHES THE POLLUTED WATERS.

TO AVOID THE CONTAMINATION, BREED'S ADDING DISTANCE TO HER SWIM.

>> ONE THING WE DO IS WE TRACK SOME OF THE BEACH CLOSURES, AND OUR PLAN RIGHT NOW IS TO BE ABOUT A MILE OFFSHORE, SO THAT SHOULD PUT ME PRETTY FAR OUT FROM THE POLLUTION, AND IN ADDITION, TAKE ANTIBIOTICS.

>> CZAJKOWSKI SAYS SWIMMING A MILE OFF THE COAST COULD PROTECT HER.

>> WHEN WE HAVE POLLUTION ENTER OUR OCEAN FROM A RIVER MOUTH, IT IS, LIKE, CONTAINED IN WHAT WE CALL A PLUME, AND DEPENDING ON THOSE, LIKE, PHYSICAL FORCING FACTORS I WAS TALKING ABOUT, THE PLUME WILL EITHER, LIKE, GET TRAPPED IN THE SURF ZONE.

>> OR, SHE SAYS, THE POLLUTION WILL TRAVEL JUST OUTSIDE WHERE THE WAVES BREAK.

BREED PAIN SAYS ONE REASON FOR THE SWIM IS RAISING AWARENESS OF OZONE CONSERVATION ISSUES LIKE ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER.

SHE'S NOT JUST SWIMMING, SHE'S COMING ASHORE AND TALKING TO CALIFORNIANS ABOUT PROTECTING THE OCEAN.

>> WHAT I HOPE COMES OUT OF MY SWIM IS THAT THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY LOOK TO THE GROUPS, LOOK TO CREATE THEIR OWN GROUP THAT ARE INVESTED IN CLEANING UP THOSE WATERS, AND THAT THEY GO FORTH AND DO THAT.

>> SHE'S PARTNERING WITH WILD COAST IN CORONADO NEXT WEEK TO CELEBRATE SWIMMING THE 900 MILE COAST.
